fFRoM THE BEES LINCOLN BUBEAU.1
The sequel to the editorial fight Thurs
DAY night was witnessed in the police
court yesterday morning. Henry BRUCE.
mann, editor of the Stats Anzeiger, and
Major Kleutsch. editor of the Freie
Presse, have been al swords points for
several years, and the compliments
passed between them in print have been,
to say the least, very personal. Neither
paper has very extensive patronage,
but is supported by factions among the
Germans. Rivalry and the apparent sue.
cess of the Freie Presse led to hot words,
and these to blows. Thursday night the
belligercnt editors met in saloon and
proceeded to have passage vi ct armis.
klentsch said something about BRUCE
mann's financial troubles, which was the
hnal occasion of the attack. BRUCE
mann's printing establishment Is adver-
tised for sale under foreclosure of chattel
mortgage, and Kleutsch took advantage
Pf him making reference to these facts.
Yesterday morning Brugemann appeared
in police court and was fined $40 and
costs.
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
=. A dangerous wound was inflicted on
Thomas Cusic Yesterday morning
bt BullOck's stone cutting yards. A large
stone weighing about a ton was being
moved when by accident the wOrkmen
lost control of 1T and it fell across Cdsc's
body. The weight of the stone rested
partly on another stone or he would have
been crushed to death at once. The
weight rested upon his legs and hips. No
bones were broken but the bruises were
Berious though not necessarily fatal.
THE WEATHER AND CROPS
A very hot south wind has prevailed
Pill day and the mercury marked 1000 in
the shade. The reports from the country
bn crops are anything but favorable. The
pasturage is literally burning up, and
corn is suffering, though the early crop
man remarked that he would be obliged
to put his cattle in the yards and COM
mence feeding them, as the pasture had
failed entirely.

McClay are also candidates. Judge Par
ker. the county Judge. who has held the
Dflice three terms. now asks for u fourth.
He is strong with the soldiers because he
has an empty sleeve, also with the
county people because he has discour-
aged the hiring of lawyers, and he has
Settled all matters possible without their

STATE HOUSE NOTES.
General apathy seems to have taken
possession OF the state offices. Severa
doors were locked yesterday and the Oc
cupants of others were endeavoring tC
keep cool.
Land Commissioner Scott has the deeC
recently made by the state to the Mis-
sour Pacific railroad granting right o.
way over the state SALINE lands. 1t is /,
yOluminous document, carefully writer
put in long hand 1t has been signed b,
The state officials and is ready for record
The secretary OF stete has just recorded
ten 900 bonds issued by the city O
York in aid of the construction of tn,
Kansas City Il Omaha railroad from Sut
ton to Stromsburg. They bear per cen
interesu. The road is now in course O
construction, and is to be completed ant
In operation IN the near future.
The board of transportation had
short conference with Messrs. Hold
rege and Kimball in regard t
the distance freight tariff charged b.
their respective roads. The railroad mel
claim that the business transacted unde
This tariff is only 3 or per cent. of tn
whole and is therefore of little interest t,
any one and that on so small busIpes
the margin is also small. The commits
sion has the idea that 1t is 20 or 30 pc
cent of the business and is partlcularl
important to the farmers of Nebraska
One member of the board expressed tn
opinion that the present rates We're tot
high and that the railroads must eithe
show that the rates are reasonable or re
duce them. The same party gave it a
his opinion that the national law was
good and desirable thing but not in an
sense q success rs administered at pres
ent. The board will hold meeting o.
Monday to look into the matter and Wi
then appoint time for meeting with tn
railroad managers to give tn subjec
consideration. The board seems 10 be i
earnest III the matter and some result
ought to be secured.
